PV, wind power generation fuses
Cooper Bussmann has expanded its CUBEFuse portfolio of Class CF fuses for protecting solar and wind power generation installations.
Cooper Bussmann has expanded its CUBEFuse portfolio of Class CF fuses for protecting solar and wind power generation installations. The finger-safe CUBEFuse design delivers the benefits of up to an 80% smaller footprint compared to other fuse solutions while limiting exposure to live parts for increased safety. Listed to UL 2579, the PVCF photovoltaic (PV) version withstands extreme temperature cycling conditions ranging from -40 F through 90 C. It is designed to protect PV cell arrays by responding quickly to the lower fault current levels encountered in solar installations. Recognized to UL 248, the fast-acting WCF wind power version is specially rated at 690 Vac and available in ampacities from 1 to 100 amps along with special 30-, 60-, or 100-amp 690 V rated ampacity-rejecting holders that help prevent overfusing. With current-limiting Class J electrical performance, the wind power CUBEFuse increases electrical safety by reducing arc flash hazard levels.

Amazing video Marija.I'm very sorry for the warnings.
Wonderful Tribute Video,Marija.
The One and Only King of Rock'n'Roll.
Sad to hear about your warnings...hmm, howcome they are always after Elvis stuff on youtube, I just don`t understand it, because it`s not like they don`t sell enough Elvis cd`s....THEY DO....always have and always will. BUT was is strange is, that they don`t understand that Elvis on youtube makes them sell even more.....We don`t hear Elvis on the radio that much, so youtube is the way to make Elvis known to the younger people....why don`t they just understand that....hmmm
Someone has to write EPE, RCA/BMG/Sony or who ever does this...to make them understand....

September 23-30, 2010

Published on September 23, 2010, 12:37am | Comments
Heavenly Round-Up: With everything in flux, you might as well allow yourself to enjoy the crazy ride you're on. With everything changing up, you might as well let go of what was and get used to what's coming. With everything different, you might train yourself to look forward instead of bemoaning a past which will never come again. Take advantage of the chaos to maximize your position in the new world order. You'll do even better if you let your friends lend a hand Friday.
Aries: You've seen a lot. You've been through even more. You're ready for any challenge -- at least that's what you keep telling yourself. It would be truer if you were less attached to things as they are at present. How will you toughen up so that you can allow necessary change?
Taurus: You're not pleased with the lay of the land. Will you move? Will you move it? Is this how to make good feng shui? You're coloring outside the lines, there's no sense in holding yourself back now. You can do anything you want, anyway you feel like doing it.
Gemini: You're on a roll and you didn't even feel round when you started. But you've got momentum and now would be an inconvenient time to lose it. Practice staying loose. Practice keeping your flow going. Practice your best imitation of the wind through the trees.
Cancer: Sometimes the most important action in any campaign is waiting. Timing is everything here, and you have much to gain through the application of a little patience and a smidge of strategy. Gather your troops and assess their strengths and positions. Planning helps.
Leo: You're at the end of your rope and you're not sure you want to tie a knot to hang on. If you're that fed up, you need to decide if there's any chance of recovering your objectives, or if you really can cut your losses and get on with making the most of the rest of your life.
Virgo: Destiny wears many masks. Fate takes different shapes at different times in our lives. How will you recognize the essential nature of your being when it stands unfamiliar on your doorstep, hoping to be let in like a lost puppy? Shut your eyes and listen to your nose.
Libra: You're wearing the cutest accessory you own: your smile. Now you don't have to charge through your wardrobe like a tornado through a trailer park, since you already understand your assets better than you did a moment ago. Natural features will take you farther Sunday.
Scorpio: Are you alone in your consternation? Are others feeling the pressure, though they don't understand its source or the possible relief efforts available all around them? You're attached to the ineffable at the hip. You're connected to the eternal, so why not act like it?
Sagittarius: You're ready to get from here to there. So now you need to get down to brass tacks and make the details shiny enough that they may be read from a great distance by a skeptic with lost glasses. Now is not the time to be subtle. Spell it out in large, bright lights.
Capricorn: You could give in to despair. But that would be a tactic both unattractive and reductionist. You have more to offer than that. You could find more to experience than that, if you didn't feel so sapped of energy. Supplement with ginseng and extra B vitamins Saturday.
Aquarius: Where did you come from the last time things were sliding around this way? You have more maturity and more perspective on your side this time. You don't have to fall for the same old line. You don't have to repeat the tired old mistakes. Share the truth.
Pisces: It's not you. You were where you were meant to be and doing the right thing at the right time. Now you've got that off your mind, you're free to concentrate on the mixed messages you've been receiving from your heart. You have one more choice than you're admitting.

Series: "The Language of God" Book Club (7 entries)
The BioLogos Book Club discussion of Francis Collins' The Language of God.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
The BioLogos Book Club discussion of Francis Collins' The Language of God.
We can understand why man, modern man in particular, would like to mop the floors and bleach the walls. We might not be able to tame reality, but we can tame our perception of reality. We intellectualize in order to feel in control.
"Being confronted with evolution may have been the catalyst for asking the difficult questions, but the real problem for me was not evolution – it was biblical literalism."
A deep love for scripture, coupled (ironically) with a lifelong struggle with religious doubt, led Robert Boyle to write several important books relating scientific and religious knowledge. We explore aspects of this fascinating interaction.
"I believe it is fair to conclude that the supposed threat posed to human free will and moral responsibility from the very much work-in-progress social and cognitive human sciences is quite overblown."
The idea that the story we know is only the very beginning raises a new question in place of Feynman's objection that Christianity is provincial. Is it presumptuous to claim that in such a grand universe, possibly with intelligent life arising in many places, the redemption and transformation of the entire cosmos starts here, on our pale blue dot?
Once we recognize that no one takes the text literally, and that we have often failed to account for the details in the text regarding the time of day, we can begin anew to try to understand the text as an ancient text rather than as a modern one. As such, we must begin with the idea that the text operates in the world of omens, not the world of physics and astronomy.
This series, by Old Testament scholar Richard S. Hess, was first published as an appendix to Christian Apologetics: A Comprehensive Case for Biblical Faith (Downers Grove: IVP Academic; Nottingham: Apollos, 2011).
Over the next few months, with permission from Yale University Press, BioLogos will offer edited versions of chapters from John Polkinghorne's best books, Belief in God in an Age of Science and Theology in the Context of Science, in order to help readers delve more deeply into some of his most important ideas.
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
The problem is that as human beings, we know that goodness exists, so it must be accounted for, and if one is a staunch believer in scientism, it must be accounted for scientifically.
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
This series by Denis Alexander reflects on advancements in genomics as well as their theological implications. He focuses on the relatedness of hominin genomes, arguing that this does not interfere with the image of God in humans. The image of God depends more on the capacity for relationship and covenant, not on a list of particular physical qualities. He then discusses why the recent studies of genomics provide "no grounds for genetic determinism."
Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.
In this three-part series, Cal DeWitt offers insights and examples of why science and ethics must work together to help us make informed, practical decisions within our society. DeWitt's science-ethics-praxis model provides a framework by which we can live more effectively as God's stewards.
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
Trinitarian theology and the image of God are important, non-essentialist resources to help us think about the distinct place of humanity in creation.
Over the last two weeks, the Forum has explored the imago Dei from various perspectives. Today's post features a preview of the updated Question, "How could humans have evolved and still be created in the ' Image of God'? written by Senior Web Consultant and Writer Deborah Haarsma.
There is a sense in which we look at Temma and we want to affirm that she is made in the image of God by denying that the image of God has anything to do with her physical, material body.
My students twinge and recoil a bit at the thought that persons with disabilities can be made in God's image. "They just don't look like it," they say, zeroing in on what is physically seen.

I have been working at Apple
Pros – It is a prestigious place to work because the best personalities are hired on.
Cons – Retail hierarchy, the corporation holding a carrot in front of your nose incessantly. Laughable wages, and even more bitingly hilarious system for raises.(not based on individual performance and is only once a year. Best wage increase being $.50-$.75 to hope for.)
Advice to Senior Management – It is actually impossible to be promoted to management as a Specialist because all the hiring is done based on personality. Managers have entirely different personalites as Specialists, so a Specialist could never aspire towards it; one cannot change their own personallity.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

There is more to this shady clam than what meets the eye. Cloyster's stat spread might scream ''physical wall'', but that's hardly the case, for it gets access to arguably the best boosting move in the game: Shell Smash. After just a turn of setup, Cloyster turns into a wrecking ball that can mow through entire teams with ease. With Skill Link, Cloyster can also abuse a powerful STAB Icicle Spear, which has an enormous 187 BP after STAB, as well as a great coverage move in Rock Blast; this ensures that even Substitute users cannot stop Cloyster's rampage. A massive base 180 Defense makes Cloyster all the more difficult to revenge kill, as it can comfortably survive powerful priority moves such as Mach Punch from the likes of Breloom and Conkeldurr even after a Shell Smash. Unfortunately, Cloyster's horrendous Special Defense means it simply can't take a special attack to save its life, and a weakness to Stealth Rock makes switching in even more difficult. It also finds it difficult to get past bulky Water-types such as Jellicent, which can take Cloyster's boosted attacks with ease and burn it, rendering it useless. Underestimating Cloyster on the basis of these shortcomings will be suicidal, though; it can run through your team like a hot knife through butter.
It is not hard to see why this is Cloyster's most threatening set. With its immense physical bulk, Cloyster can easily set up a Shell Smash on physical attackers such as Dugtrio, doubling its Attack, Special Attack, and Speed in one fell swoop; after a Shell Smash, Cloyster will sit at a frightening 578 Attack, 412 Special Attack, and 524 Speed with the given EV spread. It can then go to town with its powerful STAB Icicle Spear, which has an enormous 187 Base Power with STAB and Skill Link. Additionally, this ensures that Cloyster will be able to KO most threats through Substitute and Multiscale. Rock Blast is Cloyster's main coverage option, dealing heavy damage to the Fire- and Water-types that resist Icicle Spear.
Hydro Pump is the preferred option in the last moveslot, as it destroys bulky Steel-types such as Skarmory, Scizor, and Forretress looking to soak up a boosted Icicle Spear. However, Razor Shell can be used to OHKO Tyranitar and Heatran, which can survive a boosted Hydro Pump with a specially defensive EV spread and OHKO in return. The choice between the two depends on the support which Cloyster's teammates can provide: if these two Pokemon are handled easily by your team, then running Hydro Pump is better.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
While Cloyster does have access to Shell Smash, don't forget that it also has a massive base 180 Defense, allowing it to counter top physical threats such as Garchomp and Excadrill. This set works best as a bulky attacker on offensive teams needing a solid answer to the aforementioned threats, but it fits equally well on stall teams which can provide Cloyster with the support to take powerful special attacks. Cloyster can also set up entry hazards and provide Rapid Spin support to its teammates; its function is thus similar to that of Forretress, the difference being its greater offensive presence.
Icicle Spear allows Cloyster to act as a solid check to Dragon-types such as Dragonite; it also ensures that Substitute users such as Gliscor and Mienshao will not be able to set up on it. Cloyster's poor Speed and dreadful Special Defense might make Rapid Spin appear to be a bad choice, but it can easily pull off a Rapid Spin against Pokemon such as Skarmory, which cannot deal much damage to it. Spikes and Toxic Spikes are both options for the third slot: the choice between these two depends on the entry hazard which Cloyster's teammates cannot set up. Hydro Pump is the preferred option for the fourth moveslot, providing coverage on the Fire- and Steel-types which resist Icicle Spear; it OHKOes Excadrill and Chandelure and deals heavy damage to physical tanks such as Skarmory.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Ice Shard can be used on the Shell Smash set to beat priority users such as Breloom to the punch; it also deals heavy damage to the few threats which outspeed Cloyster, such as Choice Scarf Latios. Toxic is an option on the utility set to cripple bulky Water-types such as Jellicent. Spike Cannon could be used to give Cloyster Water / Normal coverage, but Rock Blast provides better coverage overall. King's Rock, while it appears gimmicky, actually gives Icicle Spear and Rock Blast a 41% flinch chance, meaning Cloyster can get past bulky checks such as Jellicent with a lucky flinch. Finally, Explosion might seem usable on the utility set to go down with a bang, but the nerf which it received in BW makes it pretty much unusable.
Checks and Counters
Few threats outspeed Cloyster after a Shell Smash, meaning priority is one of the best answers to it. If Cloyster takes Stealth Rock damage, Breloom and Conkeldurr can OHKO it with Mach Punch, and Choice Band Scizor can 2HKO with Bullet Punch while surviving even a boosted Hydro Pump at full health. Having Stealth Rock on the field is thus a basic step to keeping Cloyster in check. Alternatively, Vacuum Wave users such as Infernape and Lucario make great checks to Cloyster as they target its weak Special Defense. A fast Choice Scarf user such as Latios can outspeed Cloyster even after a Shell Smash and OHKO it. Imposter Ditto in particular can switch in after Cloyster sets up and use the Shell Smash boosts to its advantage, pulling off a sweep of its own.
There also exist several Pokemon which can sponge Cloyster's boosted attacks and OHKO in return. Jellicent is only 2HKOed by a boosted Rock Blast and can cripple Cloyster with Will-O-Wisp. In the same vein, Vaporeon and Slowbro don't take much damage from a boosted Rock Blast and can KO back with the appropriate move. Jirachi is barely 2HKOed by a boosted Icicle Spear, and can paralyze Cloyster or OHKO with Thunderbolt. Ferrothorn can take a boosted Icicle Spear from sets lacking Life Orb or Icicle Plate, and can deal heavy damage with Power Whip or cripple Cloyster with Thunder Wave. Skarmory, while it can't do much damage with Brave Bird, can Whirlwind Cloyster out and end its sweep. Lastly, Unaware Quagsire ignores Cloyster's Shell Smash boosts and can set up with Curse, taking out Cloyster after a few Curse boosts while healing off any damage taken with Recover; however, it needs to be careful while switching in as Icicle Spear can 2HKO with a high damage roll.

The two popular commercial virtual-machine programs for OS X are now available in new versions that bring significant enhancements.
Wondering about the performance differences of the two top virtualization options for OS X? MacTech has published a detailed comparison.
With a new round of upgrades to the top virtualization packages for OS X, it's not clear yet which will be crowned king.
Single piece of malware targets both Windows and OSX users and is capable of spreading to VMware virtual machines and Windows Mobile devices.
VMware CEO Paul Maritz says the company is working to provide products that "go beyond cost reduction" and deliver "competitive value."
The virtualization giant is moving up the big data stack with its new Serengeti open-source project.
VMware's Fusion software, which is used to run Windows on a Mac, is in a dogfight with Parallels, which recently rolled out its Desktop 7 software.
The new offering is intended to integrate computing assets, capacity, and configurations. Analytics will help automate virtualized data center infrastructure.
Company gets boost from momentum in virtualization, reporting a 37 percent increase in revenue in the fourth quarter.
VMware Workstation 3.0 is not for the casual user, but power and professional users who want to put more than one OS on a single system to emulate complex networks should consider it over Virtual PC.

Buck kill appears averageBy Dennis Jensen
STAFF WRITER | December 09,2012PHOTO PROVIDED
Adam Murkowski, the deer project leader for Vermont Fish & Wildlife, poses with one of the bucks he took this season in his native Wisconsin.While the final figures are still not known, the 2012 buck kill is running about average for the kill numbers over the past three years.
As of Dec. 4, the latest figures released by the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department, 4,897 bucks have been brought into checking stations around the state.
Meanwhile, the average kill for the previous three years over the same time period is 4,867 antlered deer.
Adam Murkowski, the deer project leader for Fish & Wildlife, said that he is encouraged by the number thus far. And Murkowski stressed that many reports are still due from checking stations.
"This year, compared to last year, the numbers are up," he said. "These are really preliminary numbers. After the muzzleloader season, we'll have a much better handle as they continue to come in from every check station."
This is Murkowski's first buck season with the department after taking the position earlier this year as the top deer biologist in the state.
Murkowski said that, from what he has seen and from what he has heard, Vermont hunters seem to be satisfied with the results of the four 2012 deer seasons.
"Overall, everybody, from archers and young kids and the rifle hunters, everybody seems to be seeing deer," he said. "The general consensus is that people are seeing more deer and are harvesting bigger and more healthy bucks."
The weather for hunting deer during the 16-day firearms buck season was also favorable, Murkowski said.
"People got to sit a little longer and enjoy it," he said.
While Murkowski, an avid deer hunter, didn't get to hunt much in Vermont, he did manage to take three bucks in his native state of Wisconsin.
"I went back home, with my family," he said. "We had a really good year. I got a five-pointer, a nub-horn (button buck) and what should have been a 4-by-4, but every tine on his left side was broken off, with just the main beam showing."
Vermont has an antler restriction rule, which forbids hunters - the exception being the youth deer weekend - from taking spiked bucks. The spike horn rule has been in effect since 2005 and Murkowski said he believes it has done what it was proposed to do.
"There's no doubt the spike horn ban is working," he said. "We know it protects 50 percent of the yearling age class. And we know from the rifle harvest data that the composition of the harvest has been shifting increasingly up to the 2- and 3-year-old bucks."
Since the spike horn ban, the average buck kill has been about 40 percent for yearlings (1-year-old bucks), 35 percent for 2-year-old bucks and 25 percent for bucks 3 years and older, Murkowski said.
"We see that body weights continue to go up and we know from talking to hunters that the number of antler points are going up. We know from talking to hunters at checking stations that they are seeing more bucks and seeing older bucks," he said.
Murkowski said that he believes that the Vermont deer population is in very good shape.
"Vermont has some stark contrasts, in terms of habitat. There's farm country and big woods and a big difference in deer density. But overall the deer herd is very healthy," he said.
Fish & Wildlife understands that the deer herd is not "evenly distributed throughout the landscape," Murkowski said "There are places where we would like to see deer numbers increase."
Meanwhile, deer hunters would be wise to consult the annual deer harvest report, compiled by Fish & Wildlife biologists in time for the annual deer meetings held each winter, Murkowski said.
"We put a lot of effort into analyzing that stuff," he said. "Hunters can analyze that information and use it to help make informed harvest decisions when they are out hunting."

Getting started
With an active baby on the loose, a gate or two can make your life a little easier and your child a lot safer by keeping him away from potential dangers, such as stairs or a bustling kitchen. You can also use a gate to keep a pet away from a child and vice versa. Child safety gates are intended for children between 6 months and 24 months. All the gates we tested can be opened and closed by an adult but have various designs to prevent children from opening them. Child safety gates come in two basic types, based on the method of installation: Hardware-mounted, or permanent, gates and pressure-mounted gates.
Whether you choose a hardware- or pressure-mounted gate, look for one that's Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association certified. Situated on the frame or packaging should be a certification sticker showing that the gate meets the ASTM International voluntary safety standard, and that its manufacturer participates in the certification program administered by the JPMA.
The ASTM standard addresses issues such as the bottom spacing—the distance between the bottom of the gate and the floor—so a small torso can't pass through and there's minimal risk of head and neck entrapment, gate height (not less than 22 inches), strength of top rails, slats, and framing components, latching mechanism integrity, and upper-edge configuration—any openings more than 2/3 of an inch deep can be no wider than 1 1/2 inches. The following brands of gates bear the JPMA seal: Cardinal Gates, Dorel Juvenile Group (Safety 1st), Evenflo, GMI, KidCo, Kolcraft, Lascal/Regal Lager, Learning Curve (The First Years), North States Industries, Regalo International, Retract-A-Gate/The Creative Frontier, Summer Infant Products, and Tee-Zed Products (Dream Baby).
Install the gate according to the manufacturer's directions.
Never use a pressure-mounted gate or the pressure-mount option on a gate that can be installed either way at the top of stairs—no matter how much you want to avoid drilling holes into your woodwork. Choose a gate with a straight top edge and closely spaced, rigid vertical slats or a mesh screen.
Avoid accordion-style gates without a top filler bar (with open points at the top) and gates with horizontal slats or similarly tempting footholds. If you choose a model with mesh panels, look for a fine weave—wide-holed mesh may provide a foothold for climbing or could trap fingers. Follow the safety recommendations for installing and using gates and use our Ratings below as a buying guideline.
Use safety gates to childproof other people's homes
A pressure-mounted gate or two is an easy way to make a hotel room or a relative's home more child friendly. When traveling with a baby or toddler and visiting friends, grandparents, or other relatives, install a pressure-mounted gate at the bottom of stairs and between rooms you consider unsafe, like the living room with a fire roaring in the fireplace or the kitchen when people are busy cooking. Also keep bathroom doors securely closed or blocked off with a gate.

photos & story
by Barbara Reed Collins
Every town has hidden treasures, and Center Groton has one of the best – Red Fence Farm – with 5.5-plus acres on Daboll Road, not far from Wal-Mart on Route 184. Owned by Art and Cherrie Hiles for 20 years, it is the home for some very special cows, pigs, chickens, turkeys, pheasants, and a few rabbits. One lone donkey named Diogenes gets immediate attention with his greeting – a strong, loud bray that commands attention.
"He doesn't get along with any of the other animals, so he gets to stay here by himself. He's actually my favorite," said Cherrie as she stroked the donkey's head. His greeting makes him a favorite for school children and other guests who visit the farm from time to time by appointment.
The farm use is "grandfathered," going back to a man named Daboll. But lineage is not what makes the site so special. It is the dedication of Art and Cherrie that deserves applause. All the animals they have sought out are antique breeds being raised to preserve those lines. Both Art and Cherrie are employed in other jobs; he is employeed at Wal-mart and she works at Noank Baptist Group Homes.
The Hiles are also committed to preserving the family farm lifestyle – providing quality and chemical-free food. Everything raised at Red Fence Farm is naturally grown, grass fed and pastured. What the owners do not use for their own food is sold, but supplies are limited. Turkeys are reserved months before the holidays begin. Butchering and packaging of beef, pork and poultry is completed in spotless quarters.
The biggest animals are the Highland cattle, an ancient Scottish breed. Their horns are long. And although the wavy coat colors can vary, those at Red Fence Farm are a light red. Art emphasizes that the meat tends to be leaner than most meat.
The pigs also have reddish coats. They are Tamworths – "threatened in the US." More pigs will be bred at Red Fence Farm. Some will be sold. The breed originated in England.
Bourbon Red Turkeys are almost as noisy as Diogenes when visitors approach. Named for Bourbon County in the bluegrass region of Kentucky, they are handsome and fan their chestnut red plumage with exuberance.
Turkey and pheasant chicks get their start in a heated and protected shelter. There are also free range chickens – especially needed as layers for eager consumers who enjoy fresh eggs. An entire flock was killed recently. "Foxes, raccoons, Fisher cats, hawks – any of 'em can do it. We lost all the laying hens in one night," said Art. The risk, he acknowledges, is part of life on any farm.
Both he and Cherrie, express their satisfaction with a lifestyle that cherishes nature and all its wonders. Shrubs around the front of their home are bright pink – a color that attracts hummingbirds. The home is cozy with natural woodwork throughout – a pantry, cabinets, and other pieces built by Art. A bedroom bay window brings nature indoors with space for numerous plants that create a cascade of greenery.
The Groton farm is open for tours for school children and groups by appointment. For reservations or to purchase produce call 860.446.8929.

I have been working at Georgia-Pacific Corporation full-time for more than a year
Pros – One of the best reasons to work at GP is the stability of the company. I enjoy working for my boss, the hours, and work.
Cons – I at times worry about the upper mobility in the company. I have only been with GP a year so no firm reasoning or evidence that strong employees will not move up the ladder quickly but it is something that I question at times.
Advice to Senior Management – Get rid of the underachievers regardless of how long they have been with the company.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Photos as Literary Fodder
Years ago Jack Finney used photos of old New York in his book Time and Again (available from the store on my website). It's a bit of a cult classic in some circles. You can read more about it in a Wikipedia article. While Finney's book is considered an illustrated novel there are plenty of fictional works that incorporate pictures into the story line. I'm going to turn the comments section of my blog on this week so that you can send me your favorite books mention old photos. Be nice!
The inspiration for this posting is a book review in the Santa Cruz Sentinel (California) for Jonathan Coe's Rain Before It Falls (Knopf). The main character tapes descriptions of 20 photos for a blind relative. I haven't read it yet, but because it features photos I'll put it on my booklist for summer reading.

Hey-err :) I have finally broken up from school for Easter - how eggciting, eggstremely eggcellent, eggmazing. Enough with the generic egg jokes that progressively got worse, here is an outfit from a few days ago - complete with an un-Eastery and witchy aura due to my hat from oasap. Hope you like :) The dress is from lookbookstore again - definitely similar to many other dresses I own, alas monochrome is my saviour (and Jesus?). Much love Xx
Monday, 31 March 2014
Looking very formal and potentially bridezilla-ry in this blogpost - you have been warned :) The lovely dress is from *+lookbookstore*+, obviously not something I would wear in my everyday emo life, but I couldn't not choose it for lace reasons - unfortunately, I am still battling my addiction. I have been particularly bad in updating my blogspot recently - but I am tending to post more on my lookbook account, so fan me if you haven't already! I have recently reached 30,000 fans somehow - merci beaucoup :* Hope everyone is getting into the spring spirit... I have been and will continue to hibernate Xx

Hiya everyone :) This half term I went to Paris and evidently took way too many photos. To state the obvious, it's an amazing city and never fails to look beautiful. We did so much walking in the 2 days we were there so luckily managed to make the most of our time. When we went on the boat trip down The Seine a really cute group of tourists came up to us and gave me a lucky charm as a present. We also visited the set of some scenes from Amelie as I'm studying it in school. Lastly, apologies for my lame attempt at bokeh photography.. it was addictive. Hope you've all had a lovely half term if you've had the week off school, I visited Budapest too so will share some of those photos later in the week. Bisous, love, peace and such idk Xx

Floral in Winter
Aloha! Apologies for my Internet semi-siesta! I am going through a strange v. anti social media phase, but I should probably not include blogspot in this so-called 'campaign'. I am making 'ch-ch-changes' in my life, including actually doing exercise *shock horror who even is this person*. I am also listening to a ridiculous amount of Suede and actually eating more bread, which I used to hate but now sort of like, I am officially a new person *+*AURA CHANGES*+ (including my use of impromptu capital letters). Haha in my attempt to get my life together I bought myself a lovely new camera lens... ignoring my quest to save my money, which failed MISERABLY :'( On top of that, I am typing this whilst I could have been at a lovely pre-London Fashion Week Topshop event in London, alas... the obstacle of school. Anyway less of my complaining, this outfit is indeed as fluffy as it looks! This weird monologue made literally no sense, hope you like the outfit idk Xx
Sunday, 26 January 2014
Heya everyone! I should probably stop wearing pastel colours and black, alas old habits die hard. Here is an outfit featuring my possible new favourite top, which is completely sequinned and just amazing. I found it in Urban Outfitters for only £10 - which is surprising considering their normal [atrocious] prices. I'm also wearing my corduroy circle skirt from Choies (which is so short - but lovely!), I'm wearing shorts underneath to preserve my modesty. Xx

Hakryul Jo Ph.D.
Associate Research Scientist in Epidemiology (Environmental Health)
Research Interests
Natural and synthetic chemicals; Cancer; Age-related macular degeneration; neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration; mitochondrial diseases
Research Summary
I am interested in interactions between genetic predisposition and environmental factors as they realate to development and progression of human diseases. Using cell culture system, I am employing pharmacological approaches to screen for small synthetic and natural compounds that interfere with the key cellular pathways responsible for disease pathogenesis. Eventually, such compounds and their derivatives will be tested in pre-clinical animal models of human diseases.
Extensive Research Description
Previously, I employed a chemical screening approach to study and to modulate the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, which is a key regulator of cell proliferation, survival, migration, and metabolism. The image-based high content chemical screening approach identified a series of activators as well as suppressors of this signaling pathway, which subsequently led to in vivo animal studies in the context of cancer cell death and neuronal survival. My experience in chemical genetics approach encompasses all disciplines that include the development of high throughput assay, screening of chemicals, characterization of candidate compounds, and elucidation of their biological effects in cell culture and in vivo.
The current interests include elucidation of physiological functions of HtrA family of serine proteases. The members of this protease family have been linked to various human diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), neurodegeneration, and cancer. I am interested in pharmacological rescue of various neurological symptoms of mutant mice caused by loss a mitochondrial protease. The mutant mice display several clinical features of human basal ganglia diseases including Huntington's and Parkinson's as well as human mitochondrial diseases.

Never tick Off A Nurse
A big shot attorney had to spend a couple of days in the
hospital. He was a royal pain to the nurses because he bossed
them around just like he did his staff. None of the hospital
staff wanted to have anything to do with him.
The head nurse was the only one who could stand up to him.
She came into his room and announced, "I have to take your

settled down, crossed his arms and opened his mouth.
"No, I'm sorry," the nurse stated, "but for this reading, I
can't use an oral thermometer." This started another round
of complaining but eventually he rolled over and bared his
After feeling the nurse insert the thermometer, he heard her
announce, "I have to get something. Now you stay JUST LIKE
THAT until I get back!"
She left the door to his room open on her way out.
He cursed under his breath as he heard people walking past
his door, laughing.....
After about 0 minutes, the man's doctor came into the room.
"What's going on here?" asked the doctor.
Angrily, the man answered, "What's the matter, Doc? Haven't
you ever seen someone having his temperature taken?"
After a pause, the doctor confessed, "Not with a Daffodil."Willem Pretorius--Kingdom of Bahrain

You are Chaco!
Chaconians are our pride and joy! They pound pavement, trails, and waves. They teach, reach, and perform. They're people who trust their Chacos, and we're honored to support them.
Average Rating: 5.0

The script for the movie Happy Feet was originally written about these sandals. But then they realized it is ridiculous to write a movie about sandals, so they made it about penguins.
Chaco's Reply: Who says a movie about sandals is ridiculous? Every Chaconian we know would line up to see such an awesome flick.
How do you most use this product?: Life, Beach
I bought my first Chacos (Z2s) in the summer of 1999, when they were still made in Colorado and were relatively unknown outside the state. I've had two other pairs of sandals since then, and as long as your company maintains the same level of durability, quality, and comfort, I'm a lifer! Two years ago I bought my first pair of Chaco Flips, and I live in them in the summer, whether I'm walking around town or hiking trails. I recently hiked the entire 30-mile Wildwood Trail in Portland, Oregon in a day, and had to ditch my hiking shoes from one of your competitors 14 miles into the hike, because they were giving me horrible blisters and the glue attaching the leather upper to the sole started to disintegrate. My Chaco Flips, which I luckily threw into my pack in the last minute, came to my rescue! At first I thought I was just going to hike a few miles in them to give my feet a break, but I ended up hiking the remaining 16 miles of the trail in them far more comfortably than in my defective hiking shoes. Fewer points of contact between my foot and the shoe, and better ventilation equals fewer blisters. If I'd not had my flips, I may very well have stopped the hike early due to agonizing blisters cause by your competitor's shoes. Thank you for helping to make my goal hike of the summer a reality! I'd also like to thank you for bucking the trend in footwear of clothing towards poor quality and programmed obsolescence. Chaco is one of the few companies that actually makes shoes to last anymore, and I really believe that indicates a true commitment to sustainability. Keep it up!

Love the look of the Flip Vibe, but where are the wide widths? Also love the new Rex and Mighty, and would order them in a minute, if they came in wide!! I have two pair of custom zx/2's in a men's wide, with extra strap length and wear them all day every day. Have a pair of Ped Shed's that I wear when closed toes are necessary. I'd love another pair of Chacos. They are the most comfortable shoes I've ever had, but where are the wides in all the new cool designs?
Chaco's Reply: Thanks for all of your support for our new styles of sandals. We are always updating what we offer, and we appreciate Chaconian feedback like this. We will definitely pass your suggestion to our product design team, as they are very receptive to your valuable input.

Ford F-150 FX4 vs. Ram Power Wagon vs. Ram 2500
Welcome to our 23rd installment of Four Wheeler's Pickup Truck of the Year, where we take the newest trucks and put them through a week of hard testing to find out which truck will earn the right to call itself our Pickup Truck of the Year.
In order for a vehicle to be eligible for our competition, it has to be all-new or significantly revised from the previous year, have a two-speed transfer case, have a production run of at least 1,500 vehicles available in the U.S., and must be on sale by January 15, 2012. We score each of the vehicles based on an extensive testing criteria of five weighted categories that include Trail Performance (30%), Empirical (25%), On Pavement (20%), Interior (15%), and Exterior (10%).
This year our field included three trucks. First up was Ford's F-150 FX4 with the impressive EcoBoost 3.5 V-6 twin turbocharged V-6 with 365hp and 420 lb-ft of torque. The Ford was invited last year, but was not available in time so it remained eligible for 2012. Also eligible this year were the '12 Ram Power Wagon, which benefits from a new six-speed automatic transmission and the '12 Ram 2500, which now has an enhanced 6.7L Cummins I-6 putting out 350hp and 800 lb-ft of torque. Also eligible this year, but not available in time, were the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor SuperCrew and Toyota Tacoma.
Much like last month's Four Wheeler of the Year test, we drove our pickups through a 1,000-mile loop that encompassed all things from city gridlock to technical trails. Our seven judges took turns at the wheel of each vehicle over the course of a week and reported their thoughts, findings, and scores in to logbooks, which were collected and added up culminating with our choice for 2012's Pickup Truck of the Year.
The Contenders
Our first entry in to our PTOTY test was the Ford F-150 FX4, sporting a technologically advanced twin-scroll 3.5L V-6. Our SuperCab truck was an '11 model that was updated to the '12 spec. With a base price of $36,625 our F-150 included a rear locker and skidplating, but was optioned out with the EcoBoost V-6 ($750), 4.10 gearing ($50), Sony navigation radio ($2,495), running boards ($455), power moon roof ($995), FX Luxury package ($2,950), Max Trailer Tow package ($565), and 20-inch FX2 cast aluminum wheels ($755) that were swapped out for the FX4's optional and more aggressive 18-inch rubber. After some package discounts and destination charge, our Ford came to an as-tested price of $44,615, making it the most affordable in our group.
Delivered with a base price of $45,565 was our Ram Power Wagon, which still comes with the 383hp and 400 lb-ft 5.7L Hemi, albeit now backed by a six-speed automatic, further extending the Hemi's flexibility. To the base price, we added the Technology Group ($495), power sunroof ($850), security alarm ($150), Media Center 430N ($1,200), ParkView rear back up camera ($200), power adjustable pedals ($125), remote start ($185), RamBox Cargo Management system ($1,295), spray-in bedliner ($475) and a destination charge of ($995) to bring our as-tested total to $53,030.
Our most expensive truck was the Ram 2500, which arrived in Mega Cab form, sporting Laramie Longhorn trim. To the base price of $49,875 we added the Protection group ($50), Heavy-duty Snow Plow prep package ($85), 350/800 6.7L Cummins turbodiesel ($7,195), 68RFE six-speed automatic transmission ($1,100), 4.10:1 axle ratio ($50), limited slip differential rear axle ($325), power sunroof ($850), roof-mounted clearance lights ($80), dual transmission oil cooler ($345), LT265/70R17E OWL on/off-road tires ($200), RamBox Cargo Management systems ($1,295), rear seat video system ($1,200), and a destination charge of ($995), making the grand total of our as-tested price $63,645.
By the Numbers
This year our instrument testing venues included Off Road Evolution in Fullerton, California, and the former El Toro Marine Base in Orange County, California. Off Road Evolution provided us with access to a couple of lifts, allowing us to survey the undercarriage of each vehicle. We were also able to take advantage of its 30-degree RTI ramp to gauge flexibility of each truck's suspension. At El Toro Field, we had full use of an abandoned runway to perform our instrumented testing, including 0-60 and 1⁄4-mile acceleration tests, and 60-0 braking tests.
On the ramp it was the uber-flexy Power Wagon and its electronically disconnecting front sway bar that travelled 68-inches up the ramp for a score of 457. The F-150 followed with a score of 324 after traveling 48 inches, while the mile-long Ram Mega Cab managed 48.5 inches for a score of 295.
With the suspension evaluated, we turned to the track to gauge powertrain performance. It was here that the surprise of the test took place—two six-cylinder trucks outran the V-8. Not only were they faster, they were significantly faster. With a 1,000-pound weight advantage, a twin-turbo engine, and more horsepower, one might assume the F-150 would take acceleration honors with its impressive 0-60 time of 7.36 seconds. However, it was the Ram 2500 and its massive 800 lb-ft of torque that proved quickest off the line, hitting 60 in just 7.2 seconds. The Power Wagon gunned it through 60 in 8.36 seconds, exactly a second after the F-150 and a hair faster than our '10 five-speed Power Wagon, which did it in 8.68 seconds.
As the quarter mile was reached, the trucks maintained their positioning, as the EcoBoosted F-150 nearly caught the Ram 2500, which was still pulling hard crossing the line in just 15.64 seconds at 89.29 mph. The F-150 was right behind at 15.80 seconds at 89.3 mph. The Power Wagon was the tail gunner with a run of 16.91 at 82.93, almost identical to our '10 test.
The F-150 pulled out a win in the braking test, coming to a stop in 148.76 feet, while both Rams ended up within a foot of each other. The heftier Mega Cab stopped in 158.44 feet, while the Power Wagon, with its more aggressive BFG All-Terrain tires hauled itself down in 158.5 feet.
Another important area the trucks are scored on is fuel economy. At the end of 1,000 miles of hard testing, it was the Ford, with its 12.59 mpg that lead the pack, followed by the turbodiesel Ram 2500 at 12.27 mpg, and the Hemi Power Wagon at 10.21 mpg. We expected the EcoBoost F-150 to have a substantially higher fuel economy average, but did note an anomaly during one tank, that delivered numbers that were inconsistent with the rest of our testing. Perhaps it was a bad tank of fuel or a computer issue, but the issue cleared up after fresh fuel and a restart, and the Ford continued the test delivering the much higher numbers that we expected, such as a final mixed tank of 17.5 mpg.
